BSM Physics: What the Higgs Can Tell Us
Matthew S. Brown, Daniele Barducci, Alexander Belyaev +4
This discovery of the Higgs boson last year has created new possibilities for testing candidate theories for explaining physics beyond the Standard Model. Here we explain the ways…
Higgs Boson in the 4DCHM: LHC phenomenology
D. Barducci, A. Belyaev, M. S. Brown +3
Composite Higgs models provide an elegant solution to the hierarchy problem present in the Standard Model (SM) and give an alternative pattern leading to the mechanism of Electro-W…
The Technicolor Higgs in the Light of LHC Data
Alexander Belyaev, Matthew S. Brown, Roshan Foadi +1
We consider scenarios in which the 125 GeV resonance observed at the Large Hadron Collider is a Technicolor (TC) isosinglet scalar, the TC Higgs. By comparison with quantum chromod…
Discovering Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions (MUED) at the LHC
Alexander Belyaev, Matthew Brown, Jesús Moreno +1
In this work we discuss our consistent implementation of the minimal model of Universal Extra Dimensions in CalcHEP. We pay special attention to the gauge invariance issues that ar…
Testing Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions Using Higgs Boson Searches at the LHC
Genevieve Belanger, Alexander Belyaev, Matthew Brown +2
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches for the SM Higgs boson provide a powerful limit on models involving Universal Extra Dimensions (UED) where the Higgs production is enhanced. We…
Higgs Phenomenology of Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions
G. Bélanger, A. Belyaev, M. Brown +2
The minimal model of Universal Extra Dimensions (MUED) is briefly reviewed. We explain how the cross-sections for Higgs production via gluon fusion and decay into two photons are m…
